The 42 previews the 2024 Paralympic Games.
Emma Duffy Reports from Paris A SWANSONG FOR some, but bright beginnings for others. The circle of life, and sport, is a central theme to the 2024 Paralympic Games for Ireland.
Younger again is Derry’s Dearbhaile Brady, whose focus is firmly on Paris having sat her GCSEs earlier this summer. The 17-year-old, who already has a European bronze medal on her CV, gets her Games underway on Thursday as well, as does the woman she describes as her inspiration, 22-year-old Nicole Turner.
Cycling is the biggest Irish team, with Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal among the six athletes and 10 pilots. Ireland has a rich history of success on the track, owing to Jason Smyth in particular, but others must take the mantel from the fastest man in Paralympics history, who retired last year.
Leonard is among the first athletes in action tomorrow at the spectacular Esplanade des Invalides, while Judge faces into straight knockout from Sunday.
